Chiefs Now Terrell Suggs taking shots at Tebow and God - Page 7

scho63 · 01-03-2012, 04:32 PM

I want to preface this by saying that I'm not religious at all even though I was raised Catholic. Haven't seen the inside of a church in many years and don't follow or practice religion. Actually somewhat turned off by it but that's a story for another day.

The thing that is really disturbing to me is why is everyone jumping all over God and Tim Tebow? He isn't the first athlete to invoke or thank God, many players do. He doesn't carry a bible into the huddle or try to convert anyone. He just has a strong belief in his faith just like many other Buddhists, Muslims, Jews, Protestants, Baptists, and Hindu worshipping people yet every week someone who has no relation to the game or the Bronco's comes out with what I believe to be anti-Christian or anti-religion views.

How would he be treated if he was a Muslim or Jewish? I don't think the media or other people would say jack squat. I don't like the double standard...

Yeah, he sucks as a QB but let's use that to judge his performance, not his religion.

Am I wrong or is the bashing of Tebow for his religious views justified or fair?

The Ravens are the most unlikable collection of thugs and douchebags in the NFL.

And, GoGay, stop trying to pick up guys in the thread. NTTAWWT.

And they happen to be one of the best teams that punked the Patriot Way in the playoffs two years running.

This ain't basket weaving.

Thugs? Who...

I don't have issues with the Ravens... I like the team overall. I get tired of Ray Lewis though, all the trash he talks and the attention the media gives him... I mean, he supposedly killed a dude right? The media just falls all over him...

Hmmm...

I'm just wondering if you've ever posted anything not soley intended to get a reaction rather than actually adding to a conversation. It's so predictable and boring that it's staggering.

Please respond with what you think is a clever gif that we'll all be impressed by.

Yes, he was part of a SB ad last year about pro life and he prays on the sideline... big deal. Many other players do things that many don't agree with as well and while they are beaten down at times in the media, it's often left at that.

You don't hear players facing the Jets say "We should win the game as long as Plax doesn't shoot us all in the ass". There are all sorts of things that are just bypassed or over-looked, but man... you get a guy with a serious religious conviction out there and look out...

Tim isn't out there saying a lot about his faith unprovoked - people ask and he answers. Guys like Suggs should just focus on his task at hand.

The media went over the top with Tebow coverage... nothing we can do about it and he didn't ask for it. So, hate him - love him - don't get caught up in it... it's in your hands.

I just get tired of hearing people whine about it... kick him in the groin for his performance all you like.

Please do us all a favor and go to a Bronco's forum...

Just one question, eh. Why are you on a rival teams forums? Did The Bronco fan forum reject or disown you? I'm not trying to be funny, I'm being as serious as possible.
Newbie is a overused term. Old School sounds like a Sandusky reference.

You can figure it all out in due time.

He seeks validation for his team. He's spent nearly 10 years trying to boast about franchise killing shit machines like Jake Plummer and Josh McDaniels.

Christians have to be the wimpiest group of little pansies ever to call themselves American. 83% of Americans are Christian... a huge majority that goes up even higher among elected representatives. And yet we hear this constant whining that "The tiny minority is oppressing us! The teensy-weensie little minority is oppressing us!" Aw, just grow a pair, ya little wimps....
